This paper introduces a method regarding the remote sensing data for change detection by using GIS database. The concept of object-oriented has been used in this method to classify the remote sensing data. The objects of the classification not only can be single pixels of image but also can be pixel sets that represent GIS objects. The remote sensing data are classified with a supervised maximum likelihood classification. In order to reduce the workload and avoid the dependence on operator's experiences, the training areas are generated from the GIS database. Experiments show the method is effective on detecting the change of area objects.
